Abstract
The feeding of colostrum to newborn lambs led to a 17-20% increase in summit metabolic rate estimated at 5 h of age. This increase would significantly enhance the survival potential of the newborn lamb in the field. Respiratory quotient during summit metabolism and changes in plasma composition suggested that the carbohydrate content of the colostrum was a major contributor to the increase in summit metabolic rate.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
